You know you are addicted when....

...when, as a seller, you become so enamored with your inventory that you just let it pile up and instead of selling, get cheaper in other areas of life.

You know your addicted when you have 200K in cards and buy a 1985 Ford pick-up for a grand.

You know you are addicted when you spend three days concocting a trade involving four people to obtain two beater T206s...

Well if Leon is willing to share his dreams...

I also don't really collect T206 although I do have a few. Two nights ago, I had a dream where I was on an adventure with several friends to collect one of every front in order to turn them in for a giant framed picture of the T206 Wagner signed by every player in the set. Only one of these pictures was available so their was an intense hunt to be the first to complete it. The rest of the details are kinda vague but I remember having to lie, cheat, steal, negotiate, and avoid being killed by the other collectors (and some gangsters who were out to make a buck) during the adventure. Last thing I remember was standing in front of the giant picture (we are talking like 6' x 6') hanging on the wall, examining all the individual autographs on it, and then my alarm for work went off =(

I know what you mean. I just spent $10,000+ in REA, and I'm trying to get another year out of a 1996 Honda Civic with 340,000 miles on it.

Those 90's Honda cars are damn near bullet proof. I bet you could keep going a lot longer with a good tune up

We have a Honda Civic and a Honda Accord. Both of them are going on 6 yrs old and they both run like a champ. (knock on wood)

I take the bus to go around I had 3 new cars in my life and 2 years ago decided the hell with it the bus passes every 30 minutes and goes everywhere I need to go and only cost me less than 10$ a month (a few tickets only is what I use)...the grocery store and all the rest is only a 30 minute walk back and forth...so I walk a LOT...need newer shoes more often but save at fortune in the end. Everything can be ordered online now so why bother paying so much for a car.

No more cars for me until I am told old or no longer healthy enough to walk that extra mile. I live in a big city so I doubt I will even bother to buy one then.

I guess this is how some of us afford all these cards.
